SAN FRANCISCO & BOSTON - The Gilbane Group and Lighthouse Seminars today announced that last week’s Annual Gilbane San Francisco Conference once again brought together the industry’s largest collection of recognized experts to share experiences, practices, and research, and to debate the use and future of content technologies.

The Gilbane Conference takes place twice a year, in San Francisco in the Spring, and Boston in the Fall, providing attendees the latest information, solutions and expert advice on a wide range of new and proven content management, search, content globalization and social media technologies. This year's San Francisco theme was “Where Content Management Meets Social Media” and focused on: Web Business & Engagement; Managing Collaboration & Social Media; Enterprise Content Applications and Content Infrastructure Strategies. The conference looked at "best practices" in Web Content Management (WCM), Enterprise Search, Enterprise Social Software & Networking, Content Globalization, Enterprise Content Management, and Authoring & Publishing.

Media sponsors of the Gilbane San Francisco event included Business Wire, CMS Critic, CMSWire, EContent Magazine, Fierce Content Management, KMWorld and MultiLingual Magazine. The event’s Platinum sponsor was Microsoft, and Gold sponsors included Adobe, ATEX, COREMEDIA, Everyzing, SDL Tridion, and Sitecore.

The Gilbane Boston Conference (http://gilbaneboston.com/) is set to take place December 1-3, 2009 and will once again focus on these mission-critical content technologies that many organizations are grappling with and trying to understand how they will support operational efficiencies and the overall business. Note deadline for speaking proposals for Gilbane Boston is June 15th, 2009. See http://gilbane.com/speaker_guidelines.html for details.

“As organizations continue to work getting their heads around both their unique and shared content management needs, our conferences provide a terrific resource for attendees to learn what opportunities are available to help them create, manage, share, and deliver richer information more easily, sometimes cheaper, and often quicker,” said Frank Gilbane, Conference Chair. “Gilbane Boston will focus on helping attendees look beyond the mainstream content technologies they are familiar with to help open up new business opportunities, keep customers engaged, and improve internal communication and collaboration.”
